Use Harmony remote with Fire TV stick

I was able to get the Amazon Fire TV Stick to work with my Harmony Smart Control. YES it can be done, you must first PAIR the hub with the Fire TV Stick. From what I remember 
1) add the device as "Amazon Fire TV", not "Amazon Fire TV Stick". 
2) Set up your activity 
3) using remote or app, run your activity. It may prompt you and give you instructions to pair your device. If it does not, on the app menu hit the back/reload button ( it looks like the Chrome reload icon but counter-clockwise).
4) you should see a new menu titled "POWER ON FIRETV", then it gives you option to "PAIR NOW"
5) follow instructions. using your Fire TV Stick remote, go to settings-> controller -> Add Bluetooth Game Controller
6) Allow the Fire TV Stick to find the "Harmony FireTV Controller" and pair it.
I hope this helps.
